Question 1

What is the Pomodoro technique?

Accepted Answer

The Pomodoro technique is a time management method: divide work into multiple 'pomodoros' (usually 25 minutes) of focused periods, with 5-minute short breaks between each pomodoro, and a longer break after every 4 pomodoros, to help maintain focus and reduce fatigue.

Question 2

Do the phases switch automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. At the end of each phase, the tool plays a sound and automatically moves to the next phase: after focus, it goes to break; after break, it returns to focus; after completing your set number of rounds, a long break is scheduled. You can also click 'Skip' at any time to switch manually.

Question 3

Can I customize the durations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In the settings area below, you can adjust the minutes for focus, short break, and long break, and set how many pomodoros before a long break, to flexibly fit your rhythm. After modification, phases not currently timing will immediately display with the new duration.
